4. Learn how to say no

A common cause of stress is having too little time to accomplish what you have to do. Often, we create stress because we can’t say “no.” We take on additional responsibilities even when we know we don’t have time for them. There are many reasons people can’t say “no.” They may fear conflict or rejection. Try to understand why you find it difficult to say “no.” You have to know and accept your limits. You don’t have to respond with a blunt “no.” Learn how to phrase your “no” in ways that let people down gently.
